BTS Album Controversy: Jin Excluded?

The reason why Jin, a member of the group BTS, was excluded from the credits of the new album 'ARIRANG' has been revealed. The members explained Jin's situation related to this during a live broadcast on the fan communication platform Weverse, sharing stories about the album production process and behind-the-scenes details.

RM stated that Jin was unable to be listed in the songwriting and lyrics credits because he joined the "song camp" late due to his busy solo overseas tour schedule. He confided, "It's a shame that Jin hyung couldn't have participated more if his tour had ended just a little bit sooner." V added that Jin's condition wasn't good and he was still on tour, while Jungkook explained that Jin had prior commitments.

The members encouraged Jin and expressed their gratitude for his hard work. RM comforted Jin, saying, "Hyung really went through a lot," and Jimin remarked, "Thanks to hyung, we were able to keep the team together, and that's why the album could be released." Jungkook silently patted Jin's shoulder in support, and Jin offered a bittersweet smile, saying, "I'm glad so many great songs came out." RM highly praised Jin for maintaining the team's momentum after his discharge and for his busy schedule juggling tours and variety shows.

Jin expressed his affection for team activities, stating that although he felt lonely while promoting solo after his discharge, he has been enjoying and feeling happy in recent months by being with the members. He shared his sincere thoughts, saying, "I hope this time lasts a long time. Team activities are really good."

Following the video release, mixed reactions emerged among fans. Some fans expressed disappointment over Jin's exclusion from the credits and raised the need for better schedule coordination. On the other hand, other fans showed a cautious response, stating that there's no need for outside interference as the decision was made after thorough discussion among the members.
